Why the hell does Privacy have daily spending limits across the whole account? Aren't the limits per card sufficient? Why the hell is this even considered security? How hard is it to simply call your bank and ask them to reverse the charges? This shit is meant to simplify security by giving me burnable card numbers, not protect me from myself. Well, there's one more vendor who now directly has my debit card number all because I needed to spend more than $500 at once.
Transaction limits are utter bs anyway. I already had to deal with my bank once because I wanted to spend more than $2000 at once on a debit transaction. FYI that was the Mac I bought in 2014, which ran in the $4000 range, during that entire 6 month period where I held my first and last job. I declared my income to SSI each month like they asked, too.
It was a "job" in the loosest definition, because I also failed to do what they asked me to do, instead loosely doing the things I wanted to contribute to the project. Something something neurodiversity in the face of neurodifficults who think that their audience doesn't care for certain things.
Clearly what people wanted from a foobar2000 mobile was yet another portable MP3 player. Nobody actually wanted support for obscure emulated or sequenced formats, those things are too niche. For another niche mobile music player.
Though I was also asked to support external DACs, which would have involved somehow bypassing the OS support for USB devices and writing a libusb or similar stack, so the user can have even more niche support for 192/24 audio. From their handheld device. But this is clearly where the app would have shone. Selling to the users with the deepest pockets.
How else could one justify having raised $50k with $50k match from another developer, with no budgetary concern other than "we should be able to live off this money for a whole year lol". And also "don't budget any hardware for testing unless you want to ship it back to us when you're done with the job, or subtract the budgeting out of your pay".
